Description
Boulevard Montmartre Spring Morning by Camille Pissarro
This painting is part of Camille Pissarro's Boulevard Montmartre cityscape series. It was painted in 1897 near the end of Pissarro's life. At the time, he had a recurring eye infection that prevented him from being outside in the full sunlight. Instead, he resorted to sitting by the window of hotel rooms to paint his outdoor scenes.
This Parisian street scene was painted from the window of a room at the Grand Hotel de Russie. It shows Boulevard Montmartre, one of the longest avenues in Paris.
Pissarro painted this Parisian street scene in a sympathetic style. It is early spring and the trees are just starting to bloom. The early morning light casts a pleasant shadow over the many horses, carriages and people on the street. Prominence is given in the painting to the street lights, a relatively new phenomena in 1897 Paris.
Today, this style of Parisian street scene is very common. Many artists faithfully reproduce this look. But in 1897, Pissarro was breaking new ground with this type of painting. Pissarro did it first - and arguably best.
This image of the painting was created by photographing the original picture with a high-definition Leica camera. This guarantees that you get the finest quality possible. The watermark in the lower right hand corner of the picture does not appear on the final print.
Prints are produced on acid-free paper using archival inks to guarantee they last a lifetime without fading or loss of contrast, colour or tone.
If you chose to order a framed print, the framing is done to museum quality with archival matting. The frame is wired and comes with a wall hook. It is ready to hang on the wall.
